What no other knits can do
Pure warmth, no compromise
This year, we're not messing around with the cold. The Heavy Zip Knit packs a solid kilogram of warmth, crafted with premium yarn dyed and spun in Italy. Deep pockets, an 11 cm snug collar, and a versatile double zip make it more than your regular knit—it's your central heating system. Ready to switch it on? Totally understandable.
Twice the cosiness
Meet the pearl rib, our secret weapon for unbeatable warmth. It’s thicker, denser, and sturdier than regular knits, locking in heat like nobody's business. Paired with wool's natural powers—breathable, crease-resistant, odour-bashing—this knit brings you 1kg of thermal defence. Winter? What winter?
Upgraded yarn
This season’s Heavy Zip Knit introduces a new Italian yarn, boosting softness and traceability. Plus, it opens the door to new colour options. Expect the same level of comfort, only dialled up a notch.
Perfectly layered
Winter’s about piling on layers, and we’ve got you covered. The fit is tailored just right—snug but not too tight—so you can add a henley, a shirt, or a lightweight jumper underneath without feeling like you’re checking in on a low-cost airline.
Built to last
Front zips can be tricky, but we’ve taken care of that. Our pearl rib has increased stability compared to a regular 1x1 rib, which keeps your knit from twisting and stretching. With reinforced ribbing at the waist, pockets, and cuffs, this knit is as solid as they come.
Put your neck on the line
Take a look at this 11 cm collar—designed to wrap around your neck like a warm mug of cocoa. Ish. It’s cosy enough to skip the scarf, keeping your neck toasty all the time.
Double zip, double style
Say goodbye to that unwelcome fabric bulge. The YKK double zipper lets you adjust the opening however you like—closed tight, half done up, or open. You’re probably familiar with the concept.
Sleeves that move
Raglans are the most mobile of the sleeve family —extending from under the arm to the neckline for a full range of movement. They’re as functional as they are stylish, perfect for the Heavy Zip Knit.
Pockets that work
No gloves? No problem. We’ve added two warm, pockets lined in 1x1 ribbing that won’t sag but will keep your hands toasty. They’re sturdy and ready for action.
Warmth like no other
This is the undisputed heavyweight in our knitwear arsenal. With its thick wool construction, deep pockets, and snug collar, the Heavy Zip Knit is built to stand up to the cold and turn heads in the process. The hardest part? Taking it off when the days get longer.
